Sysback overwriting /bosinst.data and /image.data files

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2.1
  RISC 590
  sysback 4.2.1.1

Problem:
  Customer states she has a file /bosinst.data  that                      
  mksysb uses for Cloning purposes that is getting                        
 changed everytime she run's the Backup Utility Sysback.                 
 Customer feel's that sysback is changing the setting's                  
 back to their default setting's.     
 .                                                  
 I will need to do research this issue and follow up                      
 with the customer.                                                       
 .        
Acion Taken:
 Sysback overwrites the customers /bosinst.data and                      
 /image.data file with the default file in /var/adm/ras                   
  This should only occur if the file does not exist in /                  
  This was done only to keep the mkinsttape command from                  
  failing since it requires those files.                                  
 .                                                                        
 Fixed with sysback.rte 4.2.1.2
